					This custom built, composite sailing boat
 was the first collaborative effort between designers <a href="http://www.ronhollanddesign.com" target="_blank">Ron Holland</a> and <a href="http://www.andrew-winch-designs.co.uk/" target="_blank">Andrew Winch</a>. Launched in 1981, Miniskirt was purchased in 2008 by Elias Atencio.  Shortly thereafter,
Miniskirt underwent many upgrades, 
which	included enlarging the cockpit,
adding a custom hardtop, adding a reverse sheer transom door, replacing the helm
pedestals, and several modifications to the exterior hull.<br/><br/>
	
“I wanted to stay true to the original design
while modernizing the exterior.  Essential
to the success of this product would be the
combination of colors to accent her new
contemporary line,” said Elias.  The original
build was finished entirely in Matterhorn
White.  The new paint scheme, conceived
over several meetings between Elias and representatives from ARES Custom Yachts and DuPont, features two solid and two metallic colors.

“I’m most impressed with the consistency
 of the metallic colors", said Rick Pineiro, president of ARES Custom Yachts.
“typically with a project this size the
 metallic flake will have a tendency to
 mottle and the final appearance will appear

“It’s amazing how many people stop to
admire the finish.” Said Elias, “and they
all want to know the name of the color
- I just tell them it’s <a href="http://pc.dupont.com/dpc/en/us/html/visitor/b/s/main/more_info.html" target="_blank">DuPont</a> Miniskirt
